Chapter 504: Gong family people arrive
The Empress's bedroom, it wasn't Xu Que's first time here!
But he had never discovered any ancient teleportation array. It was just that the letter the Empress left for him mentioned that there was a secret room in the bedroom, which hid the ancient teleportation array leading to the Eastern Desolate Continent!
This ancient teleportation array had a history longer than the Imperial Palace itself. More accurately, the entire Imperial Palace was built here to cover up this ancient teleportation array and take it as its own.
This was a huge secret, but the Empress still told Xu Que, clearly trusting him very much!
The mechanism for the secret room was hidden on an inconspicuous bookshelf in the bedroom. With a gentle flick, the bookshelf slid open instantly, and a muffled sound of "bang" suddenly came from outside the bedroom, as it was enveloped by an array, isolating the movement from spreading out.
Xu Que and Er Gouzi didn't hesitate and entered the secret room.
In this spacious secret room, there was only a huge circular spirit stone on the ground, like a step, covered with dense, strange array patterns, revealing an ancient and mysterious aura.
"This is the ancient teleportation array?" Xu Que was slightly surprised. He had thought it would be some huge and complex array, but never expected it to be so simple, with only a huge circular spirit stone platform.
This was even simpler than ordinary teleportation arrays, and even equivalent to the kind of array patterns carved on the ground in the Fire Origin Kingdom Imperial Mausoleum, except that those array patterns could only be used once and had to be filled in again afterward.
And this kind of ancient teleportation array, after the array patterns were carved on the spirit stone, was eternal. It only needed spirit stones to activate, but the consumption of spirit stones was also quite huge; it had to use top-grade spirit stones to support the operation of the teleportation array, and ordinary people really couldn't afford it.
"Eh? That's not right. Why does this teleportation array feel so familiar, as if it was built by this Divine Venerable when I was young?" At this moment, Er Gouzi suddenly said "eh" and examined the teleportation array.
Xu Que was startled. If this array was built by Er Gouzi, then this guy had really lived for tens of thousands of years?
"Sigh, still can't remember clearly. It feels like it was built by this Divine Venerable, just a feeling, but I can't recall the specific situation!" Er Gouzi looked confused, not like it was bragging.
Xu Que remained silent. Er Gouzi had too many secrets; it would lose its memory from time to time, yet its physical body was terrifyingly strong, making it truly unfathomable.
"If you can't remember, then don't think about it. Since the array has been found, let's go back and prepare, and by the way, notify the three thousand Snow City troops to return to Snow City, and then we'll set off for the Eastern Desolate tonight!" Xu Que said indifferently, not thinking about it anymore. He was now full of expectations for overseas. With this level of arrogance, he finally had the opportunity to let more people feel it!
……
At the same time, outside Snow City.
Amidst a distortion of the void, several figures stepped out of thin air.
They looked indifferent, their brows slightly furrowed, carrying a trace of disgust and arrogance, examining the surrounding environment!
Among them, a younger Infant Transformation Stage man said indifferently: "I had long heard Shang Wu say that the spiritual energy of the Five Elements Mountain couldn't compare to the Eastern Desolate. Looking at it now, it is indeed pitifully lacking. This kind of backwater is truly disappointing!"
"Young Master is right. This place is truly not suitable for cultivation, and there is the blessing of a seal, which shackles our strength. Let's finish the business quickly and return to the Eastern Desolate as soon as possible!" An Infant Transformation Stage elder with a kind smile said in a low voice.
The young man nodded slightly and strode toward Snow City.
All of a sudden, the terrifying aura from these people instantly swept into the city.
After all, they were Infant Transformation Stage experts; when they didn't restrain their aura, walking anywhere was a powerful oppression.
The people of Snow City were immediately alarmed, but Shang Wu rushed out to welcome them, full of smiles and incomparable surprise.
"Cousin, you've finally come." He greeted the young man and shouted joyfully.
The young man also smiled faintly: "The family received your letter, so we immediately sent people here. When you were in the Gong family before, you always said this place wasn't good, yet you were always thinking about coming back, so I came to see what's so good about this place. I didn't expect it to be barely satisfactory."
"Cousin, don't tease your younger brother. Your younger brother was just thinking about a person, not thinking about this broken place. In a few years, after the marriage, I will move to the Gong family with Haitang!" Shang Wu said with a bitter smile.
The young man nodded: "Hmm, let's talk about business first. You said in your letter that there is a person named Zhuge Liang who wants to attack the Danyang Sect? Where are they?"
"Uh, Cousin, that Zhuge Liang is extremely cunning. Knowing that I told you about this, he hurriedly fled to the Imperial City yesterday. However, my father has already been deceived and still thinks that Zhuge Liang is a good person, not knowing that he is bringing a wolf into the house!" Shang Wu shook his head and said.
The young man frowned: "So, we have to go to the Imperial City again?"
"Hmm, but my father will definitely stop us because he can't listen to my words now and has been completely deceived!" Shang Wu said distressedly.
"That doesn't matter. I have a plan in mind. No matter what I say later, don't open your mouth. In short, anyone who dares to bully you is bullying my Gong family. Whether he has malice toward the Danyang Sect or not, he is already a person who should die! I came here this time to vent your anger!" The young man said indifferently.
At this moment, another movement came from Snow City.
Following that, Shang Ling rushed out, and seeing the young man and the others, he was shocked.
"Xiaofeng, why are you here? Did you come back with your mother?" Shang Ling was very surprised to see the Gong family here.
The young man, Gong Feng, was calm and composed, bowed respectfully, and said: "Greetings, Uncle. My mother didn't come! We came here this time to solve the danger for Uncle's Danyang Sect."
"Solve the danger for the Danyang Sect? What do you mean?" Shang Ling was stunned; he didn't know what had happened.
At this time, Gong Feng also began to explain the matter of Shang Wu sending a letter to the Gong family one by one.
Shang Ling, after hearing this, was furious and glared at Shang Wu: "You rebellious son, this is simply nonsense. How dare you send false information?"
"Father, this is not false information! You have really been deceived by Zhuge Liang. He has been bullying me these past few days and even threatened to snatch Haitang away and wipe out our Danyang Sect!" Shang Wu advised anxiously.
"You..." Shang Ling was so angry he couldn't speak.
He had thought his son had changed, but never expected him to be the same as before, using the Gong family to pressure people at every turn, and now even worse, sending false information to make the Gong family send people from overseas—how many spirit stones did that consume?
"Uncle, don't be angry yet. Let me handle this matter. Believe me, I will investigate this matter clearly before making a decision and won't take action casually!" Gong Feng smiled slightly, his whole person looking very rational and calm.
